I'm Black, Queer & Autistic – an homage to the pain of the future

In this poetic, auto-documentary film, Yours Izundu tells the story of what it is like to be diagnosed with autism in one's mid-twenties. The emotional world and experiences of the main character in this story are brought closer to the audience in a tender and personal way, without being didactic. Yours tells the story of what happens when you can't see the forest for the trees, and what this has to do with a late autism diagnosis.
